We can see the entry list of the tournament on the official webiste of the tournament : http://www.is2007.com/joueuses.html
Jelena Jankovic is the 1st seed ; the 2nd seed will probably be Patty Schnyder (even if she will loose many points in Charleston as she was finalist last year).
the next seeds will be Srebotnik, Bartoli, Bammer, Garrigues, Peng...
that's a good field but i'm sure some others good players will demand a wild card (why not vaidisova who lost her 1st match at Charleston and who won Strasbourg last year .. ? !)
There are some rumours in France which say that Mauresmo, Golovin, Hantuchova or Vaidisova could enter lately in the tournament, the tournament director says that he will wait to give the 3 wild cards in order to give them to the best players !!
I am so surprsed Emelie and Sev have pulled out. No Nat Dechy either. Normally the french guys suport the event.
It would be great to Amelie to play here- not onlyb good for the event and for matches but to keep her out of Paris and out of the spotlight and pressure there

INCREDIBLE !!!!!
The tournament director has confirmed that Patty Schnyder won't go at Strasbourg. BUT , He says in the official website of the tournament that there are very strong chances that Amelie Mauresmo will play in Strasbourg ! What's more, Sharapova's agent has called the director of the tournament since Maria also would like to play in Strasbourg !! !
That's so incredible , i'm so happy and i hope that these two pretty stars will really come in Strasbourg !

Ok, the tournament director said on the website's blog that he met Jelena and that she's excited to come here, so hopefully she won't withdraw.
And i think Tati'll ask a WC and so will Amélie if she doesn't do that well in Berlin/Rome probably..
The tournament's director has announced that there are very little chances to see Sharapova playing here since Maria's agent is demanding too much money !! I'm very disappointed since I'd like so much to see her playing in Strasbourg !
Moroever, if Golovin and Mauresmo came in Strasbourg, that's would be GREAT !!!
